Keeping FTP Folder Constantly Up To Date Based On Local Folder

Question

Does anybody know a decent freeware FTP utility, preferably that can run in the background, that can mirror a local folder, constantly checking the files there for changes, and then automatically refreshing the FTP folder when the local files change?

Answer 1

If you are running on a Linux or UNIX box you can use a shell script that periodically runs under cron to sync a folder to a "master" folder. You could use rsync in that shell script to do the actual sync.

Is that helpful?

I am interested in this as well. I know about the Rsync option of course, but would like to have a Windows option that does the same thing..

Answer 3

Thanks Everyone. I ended up using the FastNet NMFTP component in Borland C++ Buidler 5 to write my own Windows Version of Sync.
